The Apple

Listen to C.O.O.L.'s "The Apple".

C.O.O.L. (Chase Opportunity Or Lose) is a rapper from Chicago, Illinois. The emcee's main goal in his music is to "heal" his city, which is still overcome with youth violence. His new track, "The Apple," features some ambient piano-laden production, which adds tension to his low-key delivery. Even with such a grand mission statement, C.O.O.L.'s music feels overwhelmingly personal, creating an intimate atmosphere that helps him convey his message without ever sounding preachy.

"The Apple" has placed C.O.O.L. among this week's final four Heatseekers. If you like to have your song or video featured on the site, you can submit content to us here.

Quotable Lyrics:See it's just head-to-head rivalryTrying to do what's rightAnd see the one on topIs the only one looking out for meBut you can't tell, you never doubted meAnd I'm talkin' real slick at this Appleby's
